Today we started learning how to subtract using the column method. Everyone did very well with this new skill - great job! #ProudTeacher #Numeracy

What a brilliant day out at Blair Drummond Safari Park. The children were a pleasure to take and an absolute credit to you. Thanks to our parent helpers 🥰 Tomorrow we will write postcards about our day to share with you. #SchoolTrip #Fun

We have been extending our knowledge of the art elements and focused on line and colour to create pictures inspired by Piet Mondrian’s recognisable style of artwork. There was such great focus and concentration from the pupils. Well done! I can’t wait to display these in the classroom 🖼️

On Monday, we used the @connectedfalk.bsky.social iPads to practise researching on the internet. We identified key words in the questions to ensure our search results were accurate and informative. We all learned something new! #Technologies #WorkingTogether

We were curious about how the heart works and why our heart rate goes up. This afternoon, we checked our pulse after five different exercises to find out what made our heart rate increase the most! #IDL #Comparing #Numeracy #HumanBody

As we bring our Human Body topic to an end, we learned some real life skills including what to do in an emergency and how to put someone in the recovery position. A big thank you to Mrs Sneddon for coming to talk to us about your role as a First Aider at Deanburn and how you help everyone!

We also tried making our own paper aeroplanes (although it wasn’t the best day to test them! 💨 ☔️). Next week we are going to compare which design for a paper aeroplane is most effective! #BritishScienceWeek2026

This afternoon, we watched this years #BBCLiveLesson as part of #BritishScienceWeek2026. We learned about the moon and solar system!

We worked collaboratively this morning to link our Human Body and Rainforest topics to think of ideas for poetry writing. We can’t wait to share our finished poems with you! 📝 #IDL #Writing

A big thank you to everyone who donated books for the book swap! The pupils in P3 were so excited to choose a new book to bring home and read! #ReadingForPleasure #DPSBookWeek2026

P3 joined us today for some paired reading. P3 shared a book of their choice, and P5 enjoyed sharing the books they are currently reading too. It was great to see everyone reading together and chatting about their favourite stories and characters. Thank you P3 for a lovely visit #DPSBookWeek2026

We also joined @missfleming-dps.bsky.social and P5 for some paired reading. The pupils read to one another and shared some of the books they enjoy reading 📖 #DPSBookWeek2026

On Tuesday of #DPSBookWeek2026 we were lucky enough to be visited by author and illustrator Helen Kellock who gave us tips for our own drawings and stories. Such an engaging activity during book week! ✍️ 📖

#DPSBookWeek has begun! We took part in an emoji book quiz today, used clues to guess our mystery book and we stopped what we were doing to join in with Stop, Drop and Read. Lots more exciting activities to come 📕 📖

Thank you to everyone who came along to our Sharing the Learning. It was great seeing you all getting stuck in and helping your children with their castles. They look wonderful and are on display for the whole school too see! 🏰 ⭐ #SharingTheLearning #WorkingTogether @mrshilditch-dps.bsky.social

We have been extending our knowledge of adjectives and rhyming words. We worked in groups to match the rhyming words and one pupil worked independently to find the rhymes on our tuff tray! #Literacy #Language #Vocabulary

Lots of top spellers this week. Well done, practise makes perfect. 👌 Have a fantastic long weekend everyone. @missmason.bsky.social

This afternoon we covered our castles in paper machie ready for painting next week. We are so excited to show you them. (Apologies if we got a bit messy!) #craft #fun #messy

Today in writing we were describing a Scottish setting. Together we brainstormed some good describing words and phrases. Afterwards we enjoyed looking at each other’s work and checking if we had remembered to include all the key features (punctuation, connectives and adjectives). ✍️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Well done to our Scots poetry winner and well deserved runners up. Great job LG on being this weeks pupil of the week for your excellent numeracy work. Finally, congratulations star writers. 🏆

It really was a wonderful trip and for a lot of us, a first time seeing inside the magnificent Kinneil House!

This afternoon during our IDL time we extended our knowledge of #ScotsLanguage and then created word clouds with common Scots words. So impressed with what you created! #IDL #Technologies @connectedfalk.bsky.social

We used Meta Sketch online to bring drawings of our nativity characters to life!#Technologies

The statue of Ramesses inside the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum. We are so excited this museum has opened while we have been learning about Ancient Egypt!

Some of our #IDL work today involved learning about Moses. We had to sequence the story correctly. This afternoon, we learned about Ramesses the Great and began creating Egyptian collars from paper plates. We’re going to do a fashion show tomorrow 😃

Have a wonderful holiday everyone and well done for your hard work so far in P3! Can’t wait to hear all about what you’ve been up to when you’re back 😃 See you in 2 weeks! 👋

As part of #MathsWeekScotland we linked our listening and number skills to play a game of bingo. We listened to a story carefully to find the number clues then marked them on our board. We’ll definitely be playing this again! 😀 #Numeracy #Literacy #IDL

We explored Ancient Egyptian fashion today and used the markup tool on our shared @connectedfalk.bsky.social iPads to add headdresses, clothing and jewellery! #AncientEgypt #IDL #Technologies

We were the winning table last week - two weeks in a row as champions! We worked quietly and kept our table tidy. Enjoy your comfy cushions 😀

It was so quiet in class, you could hear a pin drop! 📍 We were really focused on our Big Maths, Beat That! challenge 😀

We beat our scores last week during our Big Maths, Beat That! challenge. Some of us will be on a harder level this week. We’re ready 💪 #Numeracy

These pupils wrote excellent pieces of descriptive writing this week using a plan to help with their sentences. Your writing was detailed and accurate. Very impressive! ⭐
